guardian sorc and her immunity problem

[twillight]

The build:
I wish to be able (even if just strougling) to play solo, whole game, hardcore, untwinked.

Skills I use by concept:
hydra, enchant + 1 point on teleport. Naturally Fire Mastery too.

Ok, this takes a lot of points already, but for Hell difficulty I will face the immunity-problem. I do not want to change the concept, as I really like this build.

The addition skills might come into play are naturally Frozen Orb OR Static Field.

Question is, how many points into which skills? Which secondary attack should I choose? And finally: as I wish to enchant myself (too), what BOW should I assemble without HRs?
No need to excel, I just want to be able

Demon Machine. Not technically a bow, but it's the one you should use.

[twillight]

Ye, should, if I'd be twinked. Pretty fat chance I will not be able to find it though.

[Namtar]

Well, it's not the easiest one to find. It's also not the hardest. There's a chance you wouldn't find any suitable bow or crossbow. Isn't there? Um, Kuko Shakaku is easier to find than Demon Machine and would also synergize with Enchant. Wouldn't help with immunities though (physical damage on it is mediocre). Frozen Orb would, although that still leaves dual cold/fire immunities.

The "fires explosive arrows or bolts" mod is very good with Enchant, if you can get it. Other than Demon Machine and Kuko Shakaku, the weapons that have it are Raven Claw, Hellcast, Blood Raven's Charge, and the Brand runeword. And only Demon Machien and Kuko Shakaku have the "piercing attack" mod to go along with it.

Edge is a nice, cheap runeword, but you wouldn't want to still be using it when you go in to Hell. Silence is a decent high level runeword bow with runes that should be easy to get by the time you can actually equip the bow. I've never tried it on a sorceress, though.

Silence is impossible with not twinked character to plan on, as it contains a Vex rune (also Ist, what in a nontwinked game can only be avaiable from Hell Hellforge). Brand also contains HRs, what I specifically asked leave out.

Anyway, thx for reminding me all the explosive bows, might happen to come across with one with an ok chance I think. Uhm, speaking of twinked gear, Buriza would solve immunity issues... Not avaiable though most probably (1 point teleport and no skills from equipment means runs would be hard if not impossible).

Most probably for Normal i'll have Zephyr, for Nightmare either Edge (hm, where did I put my runeword.txt?) or Passion. Harmony has also a chance, though it don't give AR.

About skills: I think Static Field should I choose for faster damage, although I was never fan of that skill. But it is cheaper on the skillpoint part too. Maybe 10 static, 10 warmth, 20 enchant, hydra, fire mastery, and any extra will go for wider static.

Hm, I've found multiple Vex runes myself (and cubed some from Gul runes), although I suppose that if I didn't find them and wanted to find one specifically for a runeword, it would take a long time, although not nearly so long as it would have before 1.13. Same goes for Demon Machine, but really, it also goes just about everything else. I guess the answer to any "what should I use" question for an untwinked character is "whatever you find."

Most probably for Normal i'll have Zephyr, for Nightmare either Edge (hm, where did I put my runeword.txt?) or Passion. Harmony has also a chance, though it don't give AR.

I thought about Harmony too. It's great for amazons, but I don't know that I'd want it on an enchantress. Although if I were playing an untwinked enchantress and I found a Ko rune, I'd probably give it a try...
